What It Meant to Hunt

I stayed up all night thinking about Sebastian’s words.

I didn’t know why a part of me believed that he had an ounce of affection for me.

It seemed so natural. Him taking me home. Him bringing me into the banquet as his woman. Him always there to save me like a knight in shining armor. Even the thought of liking him was not something I had fathomed in my mind.

How careless was I? I had a promise to Lily.

I had promised to avenge her and seek justice, not to lounge around and bask in the warmth of affection.

Sebastian and I didn’t talk until the morning. Alessio, the only person I could speak to in that cursed mansion, was the one who relayed updates about Sebastian’s findings instead. Not a single word from Sebastian himself.

So this is what it feels like to be rejected?

I remembered the times I pushed Sebastian’s advances away because I wasn’t ready to love another man after my life had shattered into pieces.

For some reason, I wanted to go back to the past and take up his offer inst

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   Monsignor

    “Kierra?”I quickly shut the book off and tossed it into the box as Sebastian knocked on my door. My heart was pounding way too much for me to even hear what he had said.“Did you hear me? Are you there?”I grabbed the remote from the desk that allowed me to unlock the door, “C…Come in!”The knob unlocks and I watched as he entered the room with a smile. “May I come in, madam CEO?”I rolled my eyes at him while I gathered my composure, “Whatever, Sebastian.”He walked towards the desk and I quickly slipped the box into the safe with my boot. It makes a thud as the safe door closes.“What was that?” he raised an eyebrow.“I knocked my knees in the desk,” I pretended to carress the part. “Shall we go home?”Sebastian sat on the chair in front of me and roamed his eyes across the room, inspecting it himself. I crossed my arms. “Are you planning on designing the place?”He smirks, “Maybe I am.”“Well I hope it won’t be a ton of hidden cameras.”He walks towards the glass wall behind me.

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   The Past

    I finally found peace for once.In my hours of constant battle for my rights to sit in my rightful chair, I finally caught a whiff of silence.No meetings. No arguments. Just me in my office that I fought hard for.The office was vast and elegant. Its simplicity comprised of a marble desk, a single desktop, two chairs on the side. There were no drawers, no vanities—nothing unnecessary to clutter the room.Beneath the desk was my father’s safe.I took a deep breath and shut my eyes to absorb what I had finally achieved. For years, my life had been nothing but a series of fights—lawsuits, threats, betrayals, nights where sleep never came. And now… this. Stillness.I couldn’t believe it.I’m here.I’m finally here.Sitting in the chair I was supposed to. The one stolen from me. The one people thought I’d never reclaim.I reached for the box of items that the secretary had brought in earlier. She said these were some of the things Papa left behind, retrieved from storage after all these y

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   Pack Your Things and Leave

    “Kierra Evans! You cannot do this to us!”I listened to the constant wailing of Desmond’s relatives as they attacked me with childish insults and begging. Their voices became so irritating that I had to shut down my brain and focus my attention else so I would bore myself with their vocals.Though, I must admit, hearing them beg for me not to strip them all of their position felt like music to my ears.“Please! And you-!” one pointed to Alessio. “You’re her lawyer aren’t you? Isn’t this illegal for her to terminate us this quickly?!”I rolled my eyes. Alessio stood up and answered the lady with a smile of thorns, “It is actually legal for her to terminate all of you. You are accomplices to corruption and according to the labor code, individuals who have breached the trust and showed willful disobedience are subject to this kind of consequence.”I picked up the remote and turned on the projector, showing everyone in the board meeting the embezzled funds and to whose accounts they were

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   She’s Here

    Heading back to the grounds that used to be taken away from me felt heavy.I had poured everything into this place when Papa died, even when I knew people were already starting to edge me out. I continued to build what he left behind even if my position was reduced to nothing—a mere shadow of my former title.The marble floors gleamed like the day I first stepped into Eboncorp as the founder’s daughter. But now, they echoed the sharp staccato of my heels with judgment, not welcome. My throat tightened.The moment the sliding doors of the lobby opened, time seemed to halt.Every eye landed on me.The front desk froze, lips parting slightly in shock. Some whispered. A few of them even gasped. The guards—those same men who once banned me from entry without so much as a word—stood stiff, unsure whether to salute, bow, or raise their radios in alarm.I didn’t flinch. I walked forward, chin high. My hands were steady by my sides, even as the pulse in my wrist raced against my veins.Beside

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   Show Off

    It was already the dead of night before I came home. The mansion’s gates were still guarded, and I had to bribe the gang members to even let me in. The lights of the mansion were all shut off, leaving the entire structure, even the gardens, engulfed in total darkness.I arrive on the doorsteps, fumbling to get my copy of the keys that Sebastian had given me many nights before. I push the key into the hole, twist and quickly sneaked inside.The sound of the creaking door immediately echoed through the large halls. I head in, trying to keep as much noise as possible. As I neared the living room, the lamp suddenly lights up, illuminating the entire marbled floors. The light blinded me for a while and I see Sebastian on the couch, his knees crossed. His eyes glowed a menacing shade of blue.“You’re late.”“H-Hey, Seb.” I stuttered to greet him back. “You’re still awake.”He raised an eyebrow and stood up, his shadow casting over the walls as he towered me, “Of course I’d be awake. You we

  • The Mafia Devil's Princess   Mother

    I still cannot believe that after all these years, my mother would still be alive.I never got to see my mother’s dead body. All I knew was that she never returned and my relatives proclaimed she was dead. She never came back to us.I looked for her all my life, did everything in my power to search for her— only to find no answers.So she couldn’t blame me if I were to feel distant around her, and to be confused by everything she said.I pulled Mom into my car and quickly checked my surroundings before leaving. They already knew she was alive.“The Hails are in jail.” I told her. “I don’t understand how they can still do this.”“Even if they’re in jail they still have men.” mom told me. “Darling, where are you bringing me?”“Somewhere safe,” I answered. “To Sebastian’s.”A hint of horror passed through her eyes, “You cannot bring me there, Kierra.”I stopped to think.She’s right.I couldn’t bring her anywhere. “The Noir de Costas will kill me.” she added. “I’m only here for a short
